Just stop trying to be cute and go with with numbers. It'll be the third system just call it Xbox 3, take it from Nintendo and don't go for fancy stupid names. That or at least the 720 thing because the system is already stuck with the dumb circles.

Vaguely wanky, but it could have been a lot worse.

Personally I was hoping for "Xbox 5513".
Honestly, I was hoping for xXxXB0XxXx. But hey, at least we can be disappointed together. :p
Guys, come on. We all know that if they're going to call it anything it's going to be the Xbox 1337. There is just no other option.

OT: Until the official reveal on the 21[sup]st[/sup], all news about the name, specs and functions of the next Xbox are nothing more than bullshit rumors as far as I'm concerned.

Yep big fakey fake. Redditer made this in photoshop and it seems gaming "Journalists" have spun the image believing it to be something of a truth. One at least said it was a fake I've seen.
Least The Escapists hasn't picked this up and started, or, you know, looks for credible sources or whatnot. Also, probably redditers some of them so, yeh.

Neat fake name there, would be funny if it was the real deal.

Truth be told, my friends and I never called the 360 by its name anyway, we called it the Xball because it was catchier and used less syllables. So I am pondering with my friends what to call the next one.

This is a pretty decent fake, but a fake nonetheless. Not sure how it's fooling so many people, it's a random prank from a reddit thread.

Yeah no. Xbox infinity might be a service you can get like Xbox live but the console will be called the 720. It would literally be the dumbest thing in the universe if they dont call it the 720.
Why? The xbox 360 was called that because it was a 'revolution' so what, the new one is called the 720 because its 3 revolutions. Doesn't really make sense to me so i don't get why people are so hell bent on having it called that.

At least Sony is consistent with their naming convention, Nintendo is going for whatever sounds weird, and Microsoft is doing Algebra and equations. How about we cut out the middle man and just call it "Xbox Pi" because people will think it'll dispense pastries as well as order pizzas.

Cool, now we can make easy jokes like 'infinite ways to fuck up'. Hopefully that won't happen but it's there just in case.

Au contrair. I think calling it the Xbox 720 would be the dumbest thing in the universe. What does that even mean?
The Xbox 360 was clever because 360° is a revolution; it's saying "the PS3 is just a same-old sequel, this is something new!"
Xbox 720... what is that? A second, unnecessary revolution that brings you right back to where you started? Maybe the name actually does fit...


Edit: Bah, ninja'd.

Wanna know why it's called the Xbox Infinity?

Because when you see it you turn infinity degrees and walk away.
Best post of the thread.

Anyway... I guess there's nothing I can say to keep on topic. It's been exposed as a fake, case closed.

I wouldn't mind an XBox√-1, although I think Apple may have a hissy fit about the use of the character 'i' [/mathsjoke]
Would that console count a vapourware? You know, since it's imaginary?
'Imaginary' would be a Peter Molyneux project.
Oh, I get it now. At the center of Molyneux' cube lies the new Xbox.

Maybe they should call it the XboxΩ (Xbox Omega). Does have a nice ring to it. And if all else fails, they can just call it the Xbox God.

They sort of wrote them into a corner with that name. What are they gonna call their next console? Xbox infinite plus one?
Or just do like Nintendo and put a random letter after the infinte character
or infinite 2??
They could hire me to come up with 100 different names and then pick the one they like best, I should have a minimum of 7 years on me :p

EDIT: sorry Pink... you seem to have been quoted a lot on this one :p

Alright! Assuming Xbox Infinite (Xbox 8?) is the true name than I really can't wait to see what other rumors turned out to be true. Hell, I want to see what this thing looks like. Probably going to have to wait until E3 though...Microsoft and Sony will whip-em-out to compare.

Well they got 10 years to figure it out .

OT: does it really matter what it's called ? Look atthe wii . It's the absolute worst console name ever , and yet it sold so much .
Yes, and look at the Wii U, some people just think it's an add on and not an entirely different console.
Really ? People think it's an add-on? Well , i could see that hapenning . I won't say it's a bad console . But personally i think the design resembles the wii too much . Now that u mention that , i can see why the wii U sold so little in comparaison . I don't want to turn this into a Wii U thread , but Nintendo mess up with this one .

Because Xbox Pi would be a turn backwards from xbox 360?

(Will anybody here get math jokes?)

More like a turn backwards...*puts on sunglasses* and walk away. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Combining 2 jokes at once, I'm amazingly... pathetic.
